GSM Means Gram Per Square Meter. It Is Very Important: Diameter of VDQ Pulley Yarn Feed S.L GSM

GSM refers to grams per square meter, an important factor for knitting and dyeing. Maintaining the proper GSM according to buyer requirements is crucial, as improper GSM can cause rejected goods. GSM is controlled by adjusting the stitch length using the VDQ pulley diameter - increasing the diameter increases yarn feed and stitch length while decreasing GSM, and vice versa. Key points for maintaining high quality fabric include properly separating machines, cleaning the knitting floor, using skilled operators, good quality yarn, and properly oiling and greasing machines before production. GSM, stitch length, and tensions must be monitored and grey fabrics checked using a four point system.

GSM means gram per square meter.

It is very important
factor for both knitting and dyeing section. If we can’t
properly maintain GSM according to buyer’s requirements
then he may not accept produced goods.
We can control GSM by controlling stitch length (SL)
which is controlled by VDQ pulley diameter.
If we increase diameter of VDQ pulley then increase yarn
feed, stitch length and decrease GSM and vice verse.

Diameter of Yarn feed S.L GSM


VDQ Pulley

Calculation:
CPI × WPI × Stitch Length (mm) × 0.91 Yarn Count CPI= Course Per Inch WPI= Wells Per Inch
Some points are needed to maintain for high quality fabric:
 M/cs are separated from m/c to m/c by using poly bag or fabric.
 Knitting floor should be cleaned for high quality fabric
 Operator should be skilled.
 Good quality fabric depends on good quality yarn.
 Before production m/c is oiled and greased properly

 G.S.M, Stitch length, Tensions must be controlled.


 Grey Fabrics are checked by 4- point system
Changing of GSM:
 Major control by QAP pulley.
 Minor control by stitch length adjustment.
 Altering the position of the tension pulley changes the G.S.M. of the fabric. If pulley moves
towards the positive direction then the G.S.M. is decrease. And in the reverse direction G.S.M will
increase.
